A company just reached out about a Forward Deployed Engineer role. I finally looked up what that role means. It is a customer-facing role where you build custom products on top of the company's platform for clients. Cool. I was basically doing that at one of my past jobs.

Useful thing to check in interviews — what's the IC progression pathway? FDE is becoming a popular role but I think can be tough because it's less clear how to scale up your impact if you're disconnected from the product engineering teams

Not everything is a good fit but some have been www.linkedin.com/help/linkedi...
